You are right ... I was rethinking this, and 4 forums wouldn't be necessary. I think you'd only need 2 ... 1 where all the voting matchups for the all different skill divisions are setup, and one for general chit chat. It could also possibly all be done in one forum depending on how much traffic it is going to yield.

so i agree a sub forum with each challenge as thread to makes it neater
I'm not sure if I complete understand what you are saying, but if you are talking about my proposal, I didn't mean that every single competition would be in one stickied thread. Each individual competition would be in it's own stickied thread titled something like:
Intermediate: Cole Hobson v.s. Tom Mosher - Vote now!
Or something to that effect. So there would be a bunch of threads at the top stickied that were the current active competitions, and when they were complete, they would become unstickied, so people would know where to easily find the polls to currently vote in.

Easily .. In most cases people will know what they are ... Ie. Jorden Moir = open, someone who just started playing = novice. For those in the middle, say for example yourself, you can choose to start competing in whatever skill level you think fits best, but you may be moved up or down accordingly as it goes on.
I don't know, an open competition with everyone in it may seem better for those who have a legitimate shot of getting votes, but for people who don't have the greatest shred 3 skills and simply want to challenge themselves to beat others of a similar skill and gradually work up to higher skill levels, the one on one challenges seem best.
